Tuesday’s ouster of U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) brings to a head long simmering questions Republican-Populists must confront if the movement is to prove enduring, rather than another in a lengthening line of intermittent and fleeting eruptions, such as the Reform and Tea Parties. In fact, the failure of these earlier attempts to “drain the swamp” can be instructive, at least in what not to do; however, few seem to have the stomach to review, let alone conduct, such a grim post-mortem of these populist carcasses. Be warned: what follows is not for the squeamish
Founded and funded by billionaire H. Ross Perot, the Reform Party was based upon economic populism. The party vehemently opposed international economic agreements, most notably the North American Free Trade Agreement. Their argument was that such agreements would create a “giant sucking sound” of American jobs leaving for “low cost” countries. In two elections, Mr. Perot ran for president on the Reform Party ticket. In 1992, Mr. Perot drained enough center-right votes to help defeat incumbent GOP president, George H. W. Bush and elect democrat Bill Clinton. In 1996, Mr. Perot doomed the long-shot candidacy of GOP Sen. Robert Dole (R-Kan.) to unseat President Clinton.
Unfortunately for the sustainability of the Reform Party, its biggest asset was its most debilitating liability: H. Ross Perot. In many quarters of the electorate, his persona eclipsed the party and its policies; consequently, the public conflated the party and its policies with a person. When Mr. Perot no longer had even the remotest chance of being elected president, he abdicated his role and the party was forced to try and find someone with the stature to replace him. Though Donald Trump was courted to be the party’s standard bearer in 2000, he demurred; and the Reform Party was a spent political party – though its economic platform would remain and await another movement to adopt and advance it.

Bearing Arms HOA’s try to go THERE
Sometimes, the HOA has good sense and the list is mostly stuff you should probably do anyway, such as keeping your grass cut.
Yet we’ve all seen what happens when the neighborhood Karens get worked up. They become petty tyrants who will tell you exactly what kind of fence you can have for your backyard and what colors you can and can’t paint your house.
And, it seems that at least one HOA wants to decide if you can even own a gun.
Q: Our homeowners’ association is considering banning guns everywhere in the community, including in the residents’ homes. Many of the residents are upset about this, while others are in favor of it. Is the association even able to enact this rule? — Margie

Instead, here’s the reality.
Fresno Unified School District’s first contract proposal presented Thursday to the Fresno Teachers Association includes an 11% salary increase over the next three years that would be contingent on state funding.
The district had previously agreed to pay 100% of health care premiums for individuals. Families of three or larger would pay a monthly premium of $260.
The current average Fresno Unified teacher salary is $90,512, and teachers also receive benefits, retirement contributions, stipends, and additional pay for coaching or other duties that raises the total average compensation to six figures, the district said in a news release.
What results are the taxpayers being bled for this getting in exchange?

Donald Trump is guilty—of doing business.
Legitimate policing requires a predicate for opening investigations. Almost without exception, charges, civil or criminal, require a victim. It is entirely unethical, as wrong as it is possible to be wrong, to choose someone to investigate—or to simply attack—without cause to believe they have committed a crime, and that cause invariably comes from someone wronged under the law—a victim. Competent police agencies simply don’t have the manpower or the time to do otherwise, to say nothing of the legal and ethical issues.
This is particularly true of financial crimes. How does one obtain someone’s bank records without probable cause? How does one obtain warrants without probable cause–facts and evidence that would convince a reasonable person a crime has been committed and a specific person has committed it?
